Taking a break from the Dreamcast covers and am putting together some MAME Bezels and Marquee packs for my Retropie. I wasn't happy with the available overlays that are out there, so I decided to make some myself. I think they turned out pretty well and I'll be releasing them on this thread. Enclosed in each pack attachment will be the marquee at 1000 pixels wide, a bezel overlay with the artwork on the sides and any background picture needed at 1920x1080 pixels and the necessary Retropie config files. I am using MAME2003 as the basis as this version runs fastest on my hardware, so the config files are tailored for that version.

Using Pac-Man as an example, the pacman-image.jpg file goes in the downloaded images folder and replaces the scraped image file. Create a new folder in the Overlay folder called "MAME2003" and place the pacman.cfg and pacman.png files there. The pacman.zip.cfg file goes in the ROMS folder.

Here's Frogger, too. I will post one or two every day until I get them all done. I'm starting with the Vertical games and then do the Horizontal games. Let me know any requests and I will fill them as I go.

Today's bezel is different. This is my first Horizontal bezel and it took some time to do. Presenting Berzerk! The video image is the same size as the vertical games: 1080x810 - a 4:3 ratio. I had to stretch the bezel so you could see the whole screen - the Robot's arm was covering up the gameplay field, so it's a slight modification from the original bezel.

MAME2003 doesn't support layers and backgrounds, so after many tests and experiments, I have come up with this bezel for Space Invaders. There's no way to do the red and green stripes, but the moon background is there and I am pleased with the results. Make sure you use the scripts in the zip file to make it show up correctly.

The original image was created by Simply Austin and was made in the older "jessie" version of Retropie. I am in the process of converting it over to the new "stretch" version of Retropie (version 4.4). I've had to modify a few things to the theme in order for it to work and I'm putting together new box art, marquees and videos where needed and coordinated the names of the files so everything works perfectly. I've also completed the dates, ratings and descriptions for all the games in the databases. In addition, I have added bezels for the systems and set up filters to make them look like they are being played on a CRT Television or LCD for handhelds. I started off with the systems that have fewer games, like the Sega 32X, Nintendo Virtual Boy and Atari Lynx - these are complete and I am happy with the results. I will upload these System Packs and the Theme to the FTP with instructions on how to set up your Retropie and where to put the files. Simply Austin did an amazing job with the original and I am just reusing his brilliant work and tweaking it to work in the new version of Retropie. Regardless of whether or not you use my modified version of the theme, my system packs are 100% compatible with the original Sega Genesis Mini image he created. I will update this topic whenever I upload something to the FTP and add instructions on how to set them up.
Update: It was suggested to me by someone on Discord that I also give credit to Dave Marti/Dwayne Hurst for Motion Blue. I want to make sure everyone involved in this project receives the proper credit for the work they have done. I sincerely apologize for the omission.

MAME 3D Boxes Pack
EmuMovies Official 3D Boxes Collection for MAME Arcade Game
Availability - Site, FTP, Sync
This is a collection of all known official MAME flyers converted to simple 3D Boxes. The idea was to make them look like cardboard boxes. Please note: downloading these files will NOT cover 4885 games as most of the Boxes names are for various different versions of the SAME game. The amount of games covered will depend on what region and MAME roms you have in your setup.
